We signed him after the draft because we didn’t want to waste a draft pick on someone who was already on the team.

And here I thought the education that kids receive today is inadequate to what the kids of the early ’90’s and ’80’s received. But you just had to be the guy to prove my point wrong, didn’t you… Sights<Sites.

You should be required to be over 21 to post on these sights!! Sick of reading all these teenage comments!!

Florio is/was a Vikings fan, and after a couple seasons among the dregs he writes with a reasonable negativity that we all can associate with at this point. Still, it was a good draft for the Purple.

If they could get close to the production they got out of Chad Greenway from Nielsen, it would be a great pickup. What is surprising is Florio isn’t writing this article with a little Viking negativity as he usually does.

Remind me again since January of 2010 what has there been to be positive about?
